Yeah I tried that weapon as well and didn't notice much recoil, same with the scoped M16. But the sniper rifle did seem to have recoil, at least shooting through the scope it did.

Does anyone know how to order groups in high command mode to enter vehicles? I know you can order the individual people into vehicles, but how do you order a group (you know, blue rectangle for BLUFOR)? I'm trying this second demo mission and can't figure out how to get them to use the Humvees that are sitting around.

So I like the demo a lot. I had to switch monitors though, not a problem since I have a dual monitor setup. The 1680x1050 resolution was just too much for my system, when I switched to my other monitor (1280x1024) it ran a bit better.
The AI is indeed improved, so the Youtube videos had me a little fooled.
The game looks great, not a huge fan of the high contrast look but otherwise it looks splendid.
Waiting for my game to arrive on a DVD.

Wow, totally forgot Arma 2 was basically opflash2. I need to check this out!
Still remember all the good times I had in opflash1, abandoning my crap AI team as they get ambushed coming out of a truck, completing the objective anyway, and then crawling and running for 5km to dodge russian tanks. :lol Damn you 1-save policy, but it was tense!

Wow, I'm really liking the high command missions. Even not playing as the commander, taking objectives and buying units from money earned is pretty cool and addicting.

What benchmark is that? And whats the best way to take screenshots?
Anyhoo I gotta say, if you were burned by the mess that was the first ArmA, really do consider giving this a chance. The campaign alone shits all over the embarrassment that was ArmA's campaign.Good old eastern block civil war type thingy, and of course the Russians are always sniffing about.
Currently on Manhattan. And I thought Razor Two was big lol, it's huge in comparison. Trying to find the weapon smuggler, oh and does anyone know if there is a TV or computer to watch the shit you are told about?
Is vsync a bit weird in the game? I appear to be locked around 24-27fps which is the PAL standard. I don't really care though, everything on high, with post processing off and it doesn't jump at all.

Damn you no pre-load! Coming through at 500k at the moment over Steam. =/

Boo hoo. Try 150k.
Bah, I bit on the Steam version, downloading now. The demo didn't run too well on my gaming laptop (Gateway P6860fx with 2.5ghz C2D and Geforce 8800M GTS), but just well enough to be considered playable. Always wanted to play Operation Flashpoint back in the day, but didn't have good enough hardware, and just skipped on by.
1.7 MB/s, gotta love Steam.

Just a tip: try turning off AA completely and just upping your resolution. I disabled AA, increased my rest from 1024 x 768 to 1680 x 1050, and also increased a few effects (everything is now at normal, with post process and antistropic set to Very High) and I'm getting as good or better FPS (around 30 average).
I also noticed MASSIVE mouse lag with a lot of AA, to those of you who said they had it.

Can you do me a favor and try running the benchmark one more time, this time have the general setting on very low, then under advanced go and make sure everything else is set to it's lowest setting.ZombieSupaStar said:
Also before you do it, can you go to your Config file which is usually located in:
XP: C:\documents and settings\user\<login account>\My documents\ArmA 2
Vista: C:\users\<login account>\documents\Arma 2
Windows 7: 1. C:\users\<login account>\my documents\Arma 2
Basically, it's in your documents folder under the name "ArmA2.cfg"
open that up in notepad and paste the info here?
Sorry to ask so much but I'm completely at a loss here, I have the same CPU, 8 gigs of ram and a 4870x2 and the best score I can get with every thing on low is the same score you get on high. And on high I get like 27 FPS.

Well I'm waiting on an RMA for my card, so technically it's a 4870 1gb right now.Mr. Snrub said:
But what I can't understand is the CPU issue, when going with the absolute lowest settings I'm still coming up a good 20 or so FPS under his score.

3d resolution is the resolution the engine renders at.markot said:
So say you set the main rez to 1280x720, and the 3d rez to 1920x1080 then the game will render at 1080p and downscale it to the resolution it's outputting to the monitor.
Metalic Sand
who is Emo-Beas?
So if i can run crysis on very high fine at 1440x900 should i expect the same for Arma 2? Dling the demo right now

WTF man all of sudden the demo runs just above solid 30 fps for me on my laptop. All I did was turn video memory on very high and it runs smooth as hell. I have a 1 gb card so figured I turn it all the way up. Maybe I need to buy the game now.
Does anyone have any insight as to why I get a 10 fps improvement with video memory on very high

Just a note: the game feels much better if you bring up the Y axis sensitivity up almost 2x in the control panel.
By default, the Y axis is much slower than the X axis in game, which is really annoying.
The mouse lag is annoyingly still present with VSync set to off, and pre-rendered frames set to zero. I want to get rid of it!

Just played the first mission. Lot of fun, production seems better than the demo already. We need some high res screenshots to own the "The awesome super high resolution PC screenshot thread."
One problem I'm getting (and I'm posting this on the ArmA forum too) is that I don't think I have an ArmA 2 config (arma2.cfg?) file. It's not in my documents, but here's the thing: I have My Documents on its own partition, and have designated it as such in Windows. In my arma2.rpt (report?), which is located in c:\users\my name\application data\local\, it has "cannot access My Documents" over and over, and I can't change my profile name in game, and I think some of my settings get reverted everytime I load up the game. Any ideas? I did a search of my machine for the config file but found nothing.
Anyone try out any mods yet?

Give this a shot, I've heard about it in the official forums: go into your Mouse control panel and turn off enhanced mouse pointer acceleration (might be worded different). For some it has made a huge difference.

Hm, don't know. What's your AA set to? High AA caused all kinds of responsiveness issues in the demo for me (haven't tried full game), even in the menus.
